Remnant's Only Tenno [Warframe x RWBY]

Part 3: Mantle and Atlas

Dear God, I'm glad to say that we're finally out of Argus. The Argus Arc was such a pain to write, but now, I'm happy to announce that we've moved past V6, and are going into V7 full swing.

I just finished rewatching RWBY, and I forgot how intense and awesome the last episodes of V7 is. I can't wait to write out some of the insane things that the Blades at full power are capable of(Not exactly Dragon Ball level stuff, but still pretty awesome by RWBY standards).

Enjoy!

Jaune slammed Oscar into the wall. Team RWBY tried to stop him, but Jaune wasn't listening. Skye couldn't hear anything that he was yelling, the news had hit her too hard. Salem can't be killed.

The area around her vibrated slightly, as her stress caused minor sound waves to be pushed out. After a few seconds, she reined in her anxiety, and walked up to Jaune.

"Stop. It's not his fault."

"How do we know it's Oscar?!" Jaune shouted, "How do we know we haven't been talking to him this whole time?!"

"Jaune."

"How can you be so calm about this, Skye?!" The Tenno grabbed his shoulder.

"I said, stop." Her words weren't loud. They weren't angry. She didn't bluster or scream like she would've in the past. Her words were colder than her own blade, emotionless, and icy.

For a moment, Jaune didn't do anything, then she shoved Oscar back into the wall.

"I'm... I'm gonna go to my room."

"Yeah, same..." Nora said. The last of their team, Ren, said nothing and followed them upstairs.

To Skye, her hands felt like they were made of rubber, limp, and useless. Her legs shook, her body still reeling from the news. She headed to the door, "I'm going to get some fresh air."

Qrow followed her, "I'm getting a drink. You coming with?" She shook her head and walked out.

The snow outside of the walls of Argus was fresh, and fluffy. She sat there, overlooking the city over a hill, much like she would watch the Corpus trade bases on the Orb Vallis. Even though it was cold, she found comfort in it, reminding her of the days when she would stand outside in the cold for hours on end just to get the right kind of fish to give to Biz. The Solaris fisherman was always impressed with her large and rare finds.

Can't be killed, she thought. So then what the hell are we fighting for, anyway? She leaned back into the snow. Her weight left an imprint and surrounded her with the white flakes. The sun was setting now, and the sky was becoming dark. No stars glittered yet, only the slowly growing emptiness of space.

Her fingertips tingled at the feeling of the snow touching her hands. She watched as the night came over the day, and saw the stars slowly sparkle to life. The shattered moon rose, gleaming silver in the dark sky. She closed her eyes at the memory of her travelling through space. The planets passing by, the sun always burning passionately. The sound of talented Tenno playing beautiful music with their Shawzins. The sound of less talented Tenno learning to play such music, occasionally hitting the wrong notes and earning the chuckles of their classmates.

The sound of the ocean on Earth, with the Ocean Dreamers. Their laughter, their jokes. The quiet hum of the engine of her Orbiter.

She rose from her cold bed. The snow under her had long since melted, revealing the wet grass under it. The snow around her collapsed into the empty space, no longer supported by her body. She checked the position of the moon. It was nearly midnight now, and her friends would most definitely be worried about her. She bullet jumped off of the hill and glided her way into Argus.
